WE have been shown a copy of a special edi-
ton of the Daily Gazette, published in the live
city of Abilene, Kan. 1t is a fine paper, hand
somely illustrated, and full of interesting read
ing, describing the city in which it is published,
setting forth ali the advantages and probaOili
ties of Abilene becoming the principal city of
Central Kansas, etc. OF this edition $4,000
copies were printed. Thrce-fourths of the ad-
vertisements were those of real estate agents,
quite different showing to that made by the
Suns special edition In 1885, as that paper had
only one real estate advertisement.-[K Kaufman
Sun
The Sun should impress upon its real
estate dealers that they are the makers of
booms. There is no class of men in any
community who can do more to accelerate
or retard a boom than the real estate
dealers. If these are wide-awake, enter
prising and public spirited, they will push
struggling town to the front; if they are
Indifferent, of contracted vision and self
ish, they will neutralize the efforts of
others, Fortunate is that town whose
real estate dealers are get-up -and-get sort
of men.

INDIANAPOLIS is generally regarded as
8 toIerabIy complete city, and yet In
dianapolis does not weary of well doing.
The News of that city announces a special
issue "devoted to setting forth the ad-
vsntages of Indianapolis as 8 place of
residence and business, and showing the
variety and extent of it's industrial in
terests, and the magnitude of its trade.
No pains will be spared to make it OF
great value as an advertisement of the
city, and arrangements will be made for a
very wide distribution where it will dc
the most good"

A Campaign Lie.
Houston Herald

A man from Fort Worth passed through
Houston yesterday en- route to New York.
When he landed at the Capitol hotel he
looked around in dazed sort of way and
tried to size up his surroundings. The
hack driver, thinking that something was
wrong, asked the Panther City man what
was the matter. He said that he lived in
Fort Worth and had been to Dallas, and
thought they were good-sized towns, but
that Houston was certainly daisy, and
discounted anything he had ever expected
to see in Texas.

No DOUBT General Wolseley's praise of Gen
eral Lee is so enthusiastic as to be eXasperat-
ing, but General Sherman should tread cauti
ously in his effort to r,tcise the Englishman's
work. By so far as the soldiership of General
Lee Is eXal ed beyond the ordinary level the
credit is increased of the soldiership which
brought him to terms. To prove that he was
destitute of military genius would be 20 show
that the northern gene ais who opposed him
with superior force were blunderers. Perhaps
this is what General Sherman seeks to do
Philadelphia Record.
Sherman was a great general, but he
has not fame or ability enough to deprive
Robert E. Lee of the place he will be &C
corded in history. And we who served
under him love him and honor him not
only as one of the greatest soldiers of
the world, but as one of the grandest
men. Robert E. Lee was great man in
all things. at all times, in all places and
under all conditions.

Last Court at RunneIs.

Correspondence of the Gazette
RUNNELs, TEX, May 4.-Our County
court convened this week with rather a
large docket, both civil and criminal.
Few cases, however, have been finally dis
posed of so far. The mill, no doubt, will
grind more rapidly the remainder OF this
week, and the third week of the term.
This term of court, it is thought by many,
will be the last ever held at this place, as
in all probability the county seat will
be removed to Bsllinger within the next
ninety days. In justice to the lat
ter place it should be said that
her citizens are apparently not inter-
ested in the matter one way or the other.
1t is our citizens and those living near Us
that are clsmoring for its removal.
Houses are being removed from this place
to BallInger almost daily, and in two or
three months more Of time this town will
be known as thing of the past.

For Vice. President.
Chicago Herald

Since most of the sure-enough pol
iticians have decided that the Democratic
and Republican candidates for President
in 1888 will be the same as in 1884 spec
ulation has now conferred on the Vice
presidential candidates. Stephen W.
Dorsey assumes that General Fairchild of
Wisconsin will be Mr.. Blaine's running
mate, and predicts that such team will
be invinclble. What he bases this opinion
upon is not so clear. General Fairchild is
sn sm;able gentleman who has had some
experience in the consular service. He was
q soldier and lost an arm at Gettysburg,
where he served as Colonel. He is not
understood to be seeking a secondary
place on the ticket with the man from
Maine, but even If he should accept it his
candidacy could not be expected to lend
to the combination any such strength as

THE Sunday law is enforced in New
York and the Gothamites mourn and 60
over to jersey for beer and pretzels on the
Sabbath day. The Star says: "The
small ssloonkeepers who locked their
doors over Sunday for fear of arrest,
were angered on Monday to find that their
ice had melted and the beer had spoiled.
But the loss of ice and beer was nothing
compared to the loss of trade. Their
favorite customers had gone out of town
to quench their thirst and it was certain
that they would continue to do so all
summer. It was sad Monday for the
liquor dealers all over the city. And the
owners of the big hotel bars are another
disconnected set of men. The opinion of
Corporation Counsel Lacombe that hotels
can neither sell nor give any Intoxicating
liquors to their guests was a bombshell
for the hotel men" The hotels, the sa-
looms and proprietors of bathrooms, pic
mic parks ana concert gardens are all or
gsnizing to fight Mayor Hewitt's order to
enforce the law. 1t is this opposition to
legal rest rictions on the part of some re-
tail dealers that breeds Prohibitiopists.

Joel Williams Surely Dead.

Special to the Gazette.
PALESTINE, TEX, May 6.-There is
no longer any doubt of the identity of
the man killed here last Tuesday evening
by Deputy Sheriff Powell as Joel Will
liams, the murderer of Blocker at Abbott
two weeks ago. Mr.. Brigham, mer-
chant of Abbott, who knew Williams and
saw him murder Blocker, came in last
night, and this morning, on viewing the
remains, unhesitatingly pronounced the
dead man to be Joel Williams. The de-
ceased was buried in the potters' field
this morning. 1t is reported, though not
authoritatively, that there is large re-
ward for Williams in Louisiana where he
was wanted for murder committed before
coming to Texas.

IT is said that in September Miss
Cleveland will associate herself with Mrs.
Sylvanus Reed in her school for young
ladies in the city of New York. AS an
educator Miss Cleveland has taken high
rank and she shows her wisdom in leav-
ing the field OF literature, where her ef-
forts have only been mediocre, and re-
turning to position for which she is
gifted. The chair of American history
will be filed by this lady, and it is sug-
gested that her lectures may find their
way into the Magazine Of American
History, although personally she is
pledged to abstain from all newspaper or
magazine WORK.

GIVE US SMALL PARKS.

The wisdom of those citizens of Fort
Worth who have unitedly lifted this city
from an interior village to a populous
business center, is no where more clearly
shown than in the straight, broad streets
which traverse the town in every direC-
ton. In looking at the progress from
strictly monetary point Of view there is,
however, danger of overlooking some
essential features in the city's future
which belong not only to sanitation but
to the beauty and desirability of Fort
Worth as a home for cultured and con-
tented population. There is nothing
more conducive to the health and happi
ness of the people than small, Well-kept
parks in all parts of the city and accessi-
BILE to the masses. The need is not so
much for large parks mile or so from
the town, as for squares where the tired
laborer and the worn housekeeper can
find pleasant resting place, and enjoy
these inimitable Texas moonlight even
ings, amid flowers, green grass and the
musical tinkle of the fountains dripping
water. In all tropical countries such
places abound, and music and pleasant
interchange of chat give a grateful termi-
nus to a hot, wearisome day. The reason
for urging this need upon the public men
of the town at this time is that the rapid
rate at which real estate is advancing
makes it advisable to secure plats of
ground for this purpose before the excess
sive cost renders such expenditure well
nigh impracticabIe. Unless the growth
of this city receive some unprecedented
check, these lungs for the populous local
tiles will become necessity that will be
SO urgent as to demand relief at any price.
Should some such provision for the future
be made, the working people and their
children will have cause to bless the fore
sight that insured it.

JUST as THE GAZETTE apprehended,
the unseemly contention between leaders
of the Lost Cause affords the bloody
shirt press occasion for derision that
tends to degrade struggle ennobled by
patriotism and blood. Such disputation
as that between Davis and Beauregard
can do no possible good, but it does offer
opportunity for malicious criticism that
adds no glory to cause or honor to those
who gave it all on earth they had to give.
The Philadelphia Press comments on the
DavIs-B eauregard dispute is commended
to the Houston Age:
The wordy war between Jefferson Davis and
General Beauregard goes on wi h undated vio-
lence. Mr.. Davis has a strongly entrenched
battery on the bluff, which is pouring specific
allegations into the enemy's lines with deadly
effect while Beauregard's forces ATE returning
tremendous fire of qualified denials, cowardly
evasions and explosive expletives. Mr.. Davis
has ordered his entire corps. con sisting of the
nine parts of speech, into action, and General
Beauregard, who personally supervises all
drawings, has gone to the front at the he ad of
a division of lying artillery. The carnage is
dreadful, the field being strewn with the man
gled remains of malicious Misrepresentation,
grotesque errors, palpabIe perversions and
mean insinuations. at this writing, however,
both commanders are personally uninjlred,
and the conflict goes on with fierceness which
indicates that each is determined to hold his
position, even IL 1t costs him every epitket he
has In the world.
